Mei Ho(TPRS/CI)

Mei is a truly excellent teacher. I tried 5 different Cantonese iTalki teachers and liked her best (even though her rate was quite a bit higher). She is patient, engaging, professional and always prepared. She uses the TPRS method, which I was not familiar with until I met her – vocabulary is incorporated into a story, making it easier (and more natural) to learn than doing memorisation, tests or drills. I enjoy learning this way because it is systematic but not boring. It is easy to find teachers to practise informal conversation with, but harder to find ones that teach in a structured way. Mei actually prepares personalised lessons, helps review old content, and sends a vocabulary list after each class. She is flexible (she helped me practice when I needed help with a graduate school interview) and intuitive about adapting to your level. She has experience teaching all ages and profiencies, but I found her especially useful as an intermediate speaker. Enthusiastically recommend her.

Very fun lesson with Mei. From just one class using the TPRS method I was feeling more relaxed speaking. Looking forward to the next classes.

Thank you, you were great! I am looking forward to "seeing" you again.

Outstanding teacher. If you like an energetic and effective class, Mei Ho will make sure you practice and learn as much as possible in 1 session. She was fantastic

Great lesson with Mei, the story approach makes for fun lessons (rooster that needs glasses to read the paper, spider that eats with its feet) while building in important grammar points and making vocab stick.

It’s been a while since I’ve taken italki classes but so happy to reconnect with Mei. She has a way of introducing new vocabulary and making sure you use it without even noticing!
